Solution

The correct option is B Mahaprajapati
The Buddha was born in the year 563 B.C. in Lumbini. His father Suddhodana was a Sakya king and his mother Maya also came from a princely family. Seven days after his birth his mother died, leaving him to the care of her sister and his step mother Mahaprajapati, who was also the wife of Suddhodana. So Gautama Buddha was brought up by Mahaprajapati.
